The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter... if it
turns about that there is a God, I don't think that he is evil. I
think that the worst thing you could say is that he is, basically,
an under-achiever. ~ Woody Allen (born 1 December 1935)

December will be magic again.
Don't miss the brightest star.
Kiss under mistletoe.
I want to hear you laugh.
Don't let the mystery go now.

There's an old joke... two elderly women are at a Catskill
mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place
is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such
small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life —
full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness —
and it's all over much too quickly. ~ Woody Allen

The AIDS crisis is evidence of a world in which nothing
important is regional, local, limited; in which everything that can
circulate does, and every problem is, or is destined to become,
worldwide. ~ Susan

I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends
so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to
waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man... is above
all the plaything of his memory. ~ Andre Breton

2 Kalki 21:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC) Good quote, but no clear
relation to the date; it would be better on a birthday, but might
be usable here if there's ever a shortage of date-related
quotes.

Is your mind so big that it can encompass galaxies or is the
universe little enough to fit in one's head? ~ John Crowley

She wondered whether her head were so big as to be able to
contain all this starry universe, or whether the universe were so
little that it would fit within the compass of her human head. She
alternated between these feelings, expanding and diminishing.

the rain. ~Eric Bloom, singer and songwriter of Blue Öyster Cult
